We recently wrote about how people are finding it harder to restart their iPhone after Apple removed the home button from its phones.
Nine hidden iPhone tricks
It was easier before
Forcing a restart can often be the solution when the mobile does not work as it should.
When the iPhone had a physical home button, all you had to do was hold it down while pressing the sleep/wake button on the side until the screen went black and the Apple logo appeared.
However, on newer iPhone models, it’s a bit more cumbersome.
It is a slightly longer process which means that you have to press volume up, then press volume down and finally press and hold the side button – and not at the same time, but in order. You also have to be quick when you press.
“Nobody” gets to do this anymore
You can use Siri
But now it turns out that there’s actually an even easier way to do it, provided you’ve installed the iOS 16 update.
Then all you have to do is ask Siri to do it for you, says the lifehack website Lifehacker.
– All you have to do is unlock your iPhone and say something like “Hey Siri, restart your iPhone,” says Lifehacker in a video.
When you do this, Siri will ask you to confirm the request. Say yes or press the button Restart, and then your iPhone will go black. In a short time, the Apple logo will appear, and eventually the mobile phone will be ready for use again.

MIND BLOWN 🤯 as the youth say.
You can also use the same trick to turn off the iPhone, but then of course you have to turn it back on yourself afterwards 😉
